I was there last year. If memory serves, it has a large assortment of Korean/Asian stuff, including produce, but is mildly overpriced except for extra-cheap specials. Good if you're in the neighborhood, but not (to me) worth a special trip.

Is this the same as Yaohan? On a FirstClass BBS I frequent, there was a discussion about Yaohan in Jersey City, where one guy raved about the place, and another guy went and ended up agreeing with him: "Someone posted trivia about Yaohan awhile back.Well we finally went and had a blast.Ate sushi, shopped for adenishiki, enoki and other goodies.Felt like we were in Japan"

First guy replied: "Your Welcome..I think Yaohan is the place..The resturants are cheap.They got a lot of good stuff..The supermarket there not cheap, but the quality of their meat & fish is REALLY good.Plus they have stuff you just cannot get anywhere else..

"Also if you walk behind Yaohan, there is another mall with a crabhouse and outback steakhouse.."

Because I don't ever go to Jersey City, I have no idea if this is the place you're talking about.

It sounds like a completely different place. The Int'l Market is a supermarktet that opened about 2 years ago. No restaurants, though I know the original plans called for opening up other stores and restaurants next to the market.

As mentioned, they have a large Asian section. I guess that's why they call themselves international. The meat is not the greatest. I'm not cost savvy, so I can't tell you whether they're economical. If you have a question about where to find something, good luck. The most important aspect to me aside from whether they carry what I'm looking for, is how fast I can complete my least favorite chore of shopping. In that regard, I rank them highly.

As someone mentioned, they have quite a selection of Asian foods (and not just chinese). it seems that spanish and a few other foods are well represented as well.

the produce is generally pretty good, and i've often had whoever is stocking the produce ask if i'd like a fresh one of whatever i was about to pick up.

a lot of fresh fish, although i've seen some 'floaters' most times, which turns me off.

meats are respectable, and there's quite a selection of body parts that i would never eat

it's best to go if you know exactly what you want, and exactly where it is! that really means, the first 4 times you go, it will be a headache, but after that, it becomes invaluable (unless you want to jump on the path to chinatown)
